Lines of Inquiry:

• Why people move from place to place.
• Migration throughout history.
• The Effects of migration.

Key Concepts:

• Causation:The understanding that things do not just happen. There are cause and effect relationships and actions all have consequences both negative and positive.
• Change: The understanding that change is the process of moving from one state to another.

Key words and Key terms:

To assist you in understanding these essential words and phrases, why don't you use:

• The new Oxford Dictionaries that are in each of your classrooms and on the Reference shelves in the Learning Centre.
• The books on the second page of this wiki, as many contain definitions of these words and terms.
• The search and meta-search engine page of this wiki for advice on locating meanings using online sources.
• Your Personal Learning Journals to keep track of the definitions that you have collected.

DON'T FORGET: Each class will be building up a class dictionary containing definitions of the key words and key terms.
